10 Best PHP Form Generator available for Free

Creating Website Forms are sometimes very tedious jobs if you don’t have the right tools, and more often when you need the form created within hours. Unless and until you have your resources and scripts ready it can take hours or long. For those who knows basic HTML/CSS and don’t have PHP and Database knowledge it becomes time consuming and problematic for them. In This article i will list out some of the best PHP form generator.

I have found 2 kinds of php form generators online,

Form generators which created only the HTML/CSS for the forms. This type of form generators are viable for those who have the scripts ready and only need a stylish well arranged HTML/CSS with form validation.

Form generators which create both HTML/CSS and the scripts required to run the form successfully in your website. This are the best options for anyone from a developer to a person who is not good in coding, it will make your work lots faster and easier, I highly recommend this php form builder.

Third type are ones which allow you to create and integrate forms easily but the source code is not given to you, and submission is handled by the software company, i find this very bad, as you submissions can be used against you and you have many limitations on no of submissions and also your data can be used for other purposes, even in future it may increase price or even disappear from market, making your website broken, I dont recommend this at all.

The 1st kind of form generators are mostly free, but the 2nd types are generally in most cases premium, though they have free options with less frills and wow factors. In this article I’ll round you up with all kinds of form creators and only those which are free or have free basic option. I’m pretty sure you won’t need to even look more after going through this article.

Instant form Pro os the best PHP Form generator currently available in market, though its a premium form builder, it has every option you can dream of, with a very simple user interface, you are able to create any type of forms you want, starting from feedback to test, quizzes, etc. No Limitation on No of forms you can create, and The source code is instantly provided to you, and it comes with excellent support from the developer.

My personal favorite for times when i’m in hurry. Very easy drag drop interface with some free premium features like file upload, payment integration, PDF forms, and many more. A must try for every one.

Another Type 3 Form Builder, with moderate user interface, this ones particularly good if you want multipage or login based forms. Though the interface looks very complex it has many really good features hidden in its complex interface.

Form Creator with very limited options for free users, only reason its worth trying is it supports straight redirect of form data to users email and no submission monthly limit which is really a very good thing.

The best thing in EmailMe form builder comes with premium account where you can download the html and the php script of the form for installing it to your webserver otherwise its pretty same as others except for the free spam filtering and uplaod

This is only HTML/CSS builder very fast with web 2.0 looking forms and validation integrated with buckets of options. very good one if you are looking for something to create the HTML/CSS creator for free.

This is the 11th one but i thought i should add this on the list. A web 2.0 no frills contact form creator complete with google maps, captha and other features with floatable button. Very good one if you are looking for only a simple contact form.

Pros :

Cons :

So What Should You Use

In my opinion Instant Form pro is the best all rounder PHP form generator. Though it will cost you a small investment in the beginning, it has all the features you’ll ever need, with a great usability and interface. Its really easy and fast to make forms in the online based software, and based part is the Instant php form generator does’nt hide any source code and gives you the full code with instructions on how to use, without you even typing a code.

if you use their resource you are bound to face such problems, use the ones which provides you the server side script too. or better still register in the site and download the script. Thats why i recommended Instant Form as it gives you the full code.

Thanks for all the helpful information both in your post and in the replies. I have an issue I hope you can address – or perhaps direct me to where I can find the answer! Background We are trying to find a program that can create a multi-page planning and reference on-line fill-in form as a “real life” application exercise for business skills learned in our cloud based learning program.

The form isn’t needed to collect data for us, but just to allow the user to fill in and use as a practical planner.

Do you know if one of the form software packages can: – Let user access the completed parts of the form the next time s/he is in our program to learn the next skill? – Allow the user to print the form at any time as a record and hard copy planner? – Let the user access a new form to use when planning for a different customer?

So far, I’ve checked out Wufoo and even Survey Monkey without success.

Hey thanks for the great info, I have tried a few of them out and they seem to work great.

The one downfall is that I can find one that allows me to get the form sent as a PDF so I can download and print, it is just included within the email. Any idea on a form builder that will allow me to create a form and have it emailed as a PDF attachment? I am happy to pay for the site builder.
